Be it known that I, WILLIAM" F. WARREN, a citizen of the Unlted Stat-es, residing:- at

Ardmoro, in the eoun ty of Chickasaw, Indian 'P-erritorf, have invented certain new and useul Improvements in ("attle Food; and I do hereby declare the following:- to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention, such-as Wlll enable others skllled 1n. the art to Wll1('ll 1t 'appertains to make and use the sal'ne.

My invention relates to a new cattle food; and it consists in prod ueing a nutritious food by mixing; with a non-nutritious body, providing: the requisite bulk, a certain quantity of highly nutritious elements, whereby a food will be produced at a nominal cost and utilizing materials heretofore discarded. In accomplishing this result I employ. as the body oi .the composition cotton-seeil hulls and add thereto wheat-bran, connninuted cornstallts, eotton-seed meal, alial'faineal,

same time produce a. food the nutritious qualities of which are practically the same as wheat-bran, eonuninuted cornstalks, cotton-seed meal, and alfalfa-meal wl 11 they are used alone. I

It has been the custom heretofore to discard the cotton-seed hulls as useless, they, having practically very little, if any, nutritious qualities; but by employing the. same as a body and adding, thereto the above-. named foods I obviate th'r wastage heretofore encountered. It is well-knownfiact that in order that certain animals [may proper-h digest their foods their stont achs. must be filled or expanded to a certain, de-' gree, and it is for thisreason that I use a non-nutritious body or filler, as it will be readily seen that should the nutritious substances be used alone the bulk thereof would be so small that the stomach ofthe animal would not. be filled, and should ;a

large enough quantity of the nutritious food he used. to induceproper digestion the animal would have consumed too much of the rich food, and thereby made ill. The alfalfameal is prepared from the dried alfalfa; in any suitable manner.

What I claim is 'A stock-food composition in the form of a coarse powder comprising cotton-seed hulls requisite bulk, wheat-bran, comminuted cornstalks, cotton -.seed meal, alfalfa-meal and salt mixed with the bulk oi hulls substantially in the proportions stated to pro-.

vide a perfect food ration, asset forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my two subscribing witnesses;
